San'kovo Medve'e is consisting from two
villages, San'kovo (west) and Medve'e (east). Due to the explosion in
the nuclear power plant in Černobyl in 1986 this area is polluted
and left. At the most narrow point the distance from the exclave (at its south eastern corner) to mainland Russia is only about 570 metres.

I would like to thank especially Dr Brendan Whyte for his contribution of maps and other information to this report.
